Tsarnaev 'Participated' in Triple Murder: Dead Friend

(NEWSER) – Before he was killed by the FBI in a bizarre incident, Ibragim Todashev told agents that his friend Tamerlan Tsarnaev was indeed linked to a 2011 triple murder, according to papers filed by federal prosecutors in a Boston court on Monday. "According to Todashev, Tamerlan Tsarnaev participated in the Waltham triple homicide," the motion reads. Authorities have been investigating Tsarnaev's connection to the killings for a while, and various media outlets reported in May that just before he was killed, Todashev had admitted to helping Tsarnaev kill the men.
